In photography, becoming a public speaker or educator is not a likely goal for most. This is especially true for those people who tend to be more introverted or for minorities. We love to produce our art and may not realize that the creative process is only a small part of the work at first. But, being able to share a message, knowledge, or skill can be an important and fulfilling part of your journey and an inspiration to others.
During this presentation, Evelyn Drake will host a discussion with Monika Deviat and Viktoria Haack on why they have pushed themselves out of their comfort zones to show up for public speaking engagements. They will share why it's important to be visible, their fears and methods to overcome them, and how they prepare, and the importance of diversity and female voices in the roles of speakers and educators.
With one of the primary facets of connecting to the photographic community being public speaking in multiple forms (presentations, interviews, podcasts, youtube, etc.) this presentation will also serve as a live demonstration.
